@TheSnowDreamer Is this a good sign for snow for the Alps ahead of the Olympics? I know they have snow machines but just wondering!

@TeamNewsFPL Mateta or Pedro, Wirtz or Bruno .. are my main questions

[Anna Brain @anna_brain1]

@TeamNewsFPL Still contemplating a few last minute changes

[Josephine Cumbo @JosephineCumbo]

DB pension plans with funding valuations taking place now will be doing so as stock markets have been falling around the world, potentially weakening funding positions. A sobering position against current calls for pension fund surpluses to be extracted by employers.

@TheSnowDreamer North Surrey??

[Josephine Cumbo @JosephineCumbo]

Australia's pension regulator has found numerous 'concerns' over how mega superfunds are valuing & managing private market assets, including conflicts of interests. This should be a wake up call for the UK as pension funds are pushed into private markets https://t.co/884jTPQ7OE

In England, an estimated 75 per cent of adults over 65 will face care expenses during their lifetime, with one-in-seven incurring costs of more than £100,000.

Despite this, most people aren’t planning for future care costs.

@FPLMate All three, not regretting the hits I took for two of them as much now either 🙃

[Paul Johnson @PJTheEconomist]

A big increase in employer NI focused on the low paid comes on top of a big increase in the national living wage. This will result in an historically big increase in the cost of employing low paid workers, especially those working part time.

[Jonathan Cribb @JCribbEcon]

We should think about this change in coordination with the rise in the minimum wage in terms of pushing up the employer cost of employing lower paid people.

Of course, these changes also incentivise contracting with self-employed people compared to employing an employee.
